Just a small point of clarification as to why ungrouping may not work as expected after including a new item in a "previous" group. You've actually formed a new group.
So, if you group two circles and a rectangle, you'll see in the time line (or in PowerPoint's selection pane) Group 1. If you then add another shape, say another rectangle to the first group with Ctrl+G and look in the timeline or selection pane, you'll see Group 2.
And if you collapse Group 2 in the timeline, you'll see that Group 1 is no nested inside. (I've attached a screenshot)
So, when you ungroup the first time, you're ungrouping Group 2. And when you ungroup the 2nd time, you're ungrouping Group 1.
